About Arbor Springs

Local Window Treatment Experience in Arbor Springs

Most window treatment quotes in Arbor Springs are whole house quotes rather than one room quotes. A 4,952 to 6,600 square foot Drees plan with four to six bedrooms lands somewhere around 36 to 50 openings, the second highest count in Brownsburg after WindRidge. The difference is that WindRidge came from multiple builders across 23 years and Arbor Springs came from one catalog, so the sizes repeat. Once we've measured a great room wall and a secondary bedroom in one Drees elevation, the rest of the house tends to follow the same two or three dimensions. That's good news for pricing and bad news for anyone who reads it as permission to skip the measure.</p><p style="font-size:16px;color:#4a5a6a;line-height:1.75;margin:16px 0 0">The part people don't expect is that Arbor Springs is a privacy job before it's a sun job. Houses of nearly 6,600 square feet on 10,455 square foot lots sit close together, and on the interior lots the side windows of one house look straight into the side windows of the next. Solar gain still matters on the lakefront lots and the west facing rear elevations, but the brief we hear most often here is about sightlines at 30 feet, not glare. That changes the product. A 3 percent openness solar shade solves afternoon glare and does nothing for you after dark, when the interior lights are on and the weave reads as a lit screen from outside.

We have served Arbor Springs homeowners through the full range of window treatment needs, from inspections and repairs to full replacements. Whatever the system, our Brownsburg crew approaches every project with clear communication and respect for your property.

The Housing Here

Arbor Springs housing: one Drees catalog, seven years, two market cycles

Drees Homes built Arbor Springs from 2003 to 2010. Those seven years cover the last of the mid-2000s run up and the first years after the 2008 crash, which is why the subdivision has a middle rather than a smooth curve. Houses finished in 2005 and houses finished in 2009 came out of the same plan catalog but not the same specification, and the trim package is usually where you see it first. The published home size range is 4,952 to 6,600 square feet with four to six bedrooms. The lots run 10,455 to 14,811 square feet, roughly 0.24 to 0.34 acre, from listing and sales data the town published current as of July 2024.

Hendricks County publishes no parcel level GIS we can reach, and the Town of Brownsburg's Arbor Springs page gives size ranges from recent sales rather than a platted lot count, so the number of homes here isn't a figure we'll quote. Neither is a price band: the town publishes home sizes and bedroom counts, not a range. What is published is enough to plan a window order. Four to six bedrooms and nearly 5,000 square feet of floor area at the small end tells you the opening count. Wooded and lakefront lots tell you the exposure changes lot to lot. The rest gets measured on site, which is the only honest way to price 40-odd openings.

What It Means For Your Windows

What an Arbor Springs house does to a measure

Three numbers drive every Arbor Springs order. The opening count of roughly 36 to 50 means the whole house should be ordered in one dye lot, because fabric dyed six months later won't match under afternoon light on a lakefront elevation. The two story great room wall makes stack height a design decision rather than an afterthought. And casing depth changes room to room inside the same house: Drees put deeper trim and wider casing on the primary rooms of houses at this size and standard shallow returns on the secondary bedrooms, so the inside mount answer in the great room can be a no in the fourth bedroom upstairs.

The fourth number is age. Arbor Springs houses are 15 to 22 years settled, which puts them inside the population where a diagonal check earns its keep, and the tall two story volume openings are the ones most worth a three point measure. Wide at the sill and narrower at the head, or the reverse, and a shade cut to the widest measurement binds while a shade cut to the narrowest leaves a wedge of daylight at one corner. Add the standard 1/16 inch per side factory deduction and the 3/4 inch per side inside mount light gap of the kind Lutron publishes on its Roller 20/64, and a quarter inch of skew becomes visible from the kitchen.

The two story wall, and where the stack goes

A stacked family room wall in a 4,952 to 6,600 square foot Drees plan runs the full two stories, and tall shades behave differently up there. Lutron publishes larger inside mount light gaps on shades 120 inches and taller or past a 4:1 height to width ratio. A full height shade also stacks several inches at the head, right across the part of the view people paid for. The usual answer in Arbor Springs is to treat the lower band and leave the upper one bare.

Arched and palladian heads on the front elevation

Drees put arched heads and palladian groupings on the dressier Arbor Springs elevations. No roller shade and no cellular shade follows a curve. A rectangular treatment stopped at the spring line leaves the arch bare, which is often the right call and should be shown to you before you order rather than after. The only product that actually fills a palladian head is a custom shaped shutter panel, built to a template taken off the opening itself.

Casing depth changes inside one house

Expect mounting depth to be measured in every room here rather than once at the front door. The great room and the study commonly take a full inside mount behind deeper Drees casing, while the secondary bedrooms have shallow returns that won't clear a roller cassette. Mixed mounting in one house is fine as long as it's planned: hold the same bottom rail height across a wall and match the visible frame color so the switch doesn't read as a mistake.

Sightlines at 30 feet, not 300

Houses of 4,952 to 6,600 square feet on 10,455 square foot lots put the neighbor's side windows close. That's why the openness conversation in Arbor Springs runs opposite to a big lot section like WindRidge, where lots reach 42,254 square feet: 5 percent openness preserves a wooded view but shows too much at close range, and 3 percent is usually the floor on side elevations. After dark, no openness level is a privacy treatment at all.

What We Specify Here

What we specify most often in Arbor Springs

A 40-opening house doesn't get one product. It gets a plan, usually built around three or four families that share a sightline from the street and diverge behind it. In Arbor Springs the front elevation carries the arched heads and the formal rooms, the rear carries the two story wall and whatever the lot faces, and the upstairs bedrooms carry the close range privacy problem. Published national ranges give you the shape of the budget: custom treatments run $250 to $2,600 per window and interior shutters $175 to $800 per window. Those are national figures. No Indianapolis area installed pricing is published anywhere, and we won't pretend a local average exists when it doesn't.

Hardwood plantation shutters

The arched and palladian heads on the Arbor Springs front elevations are the case for hardwood, because a custom shaped panel is the only treatment that fills a curve. Hardwood also carries the deeper Drees casing in the formal rooms without looking undersized against it. Keep it out of the primary bath and off anything over a kitchen sink: real wood moves through Indiana's muggy season, which runs 25 May to 22 September at this latitude.

Motorized roller shades

The upper band of a two story great room wall is above any ladder you want to be on twice a year, so motorization is the honest answer there. One disclosure comes with it: Hunter Douglas states PowerView battery life is about one year, and a battery change at that height is a ladder job every time. If the wall is going motorized, price hardwired power or a trickle charge feed while the specification is still open. National installed range is $300 to $1,500 per window.

Top down bottom up cellular shades

This is the product that fits Arbor Springs bedrooms. On lots of 10,455 to 14,811 square feet the neighbor's second story is level with yours, so you want daylight above the eye line and cover below it, which is exactly what this configuration does. A double cell fabric also does real work in Climate Zone 5A: DOE and ORNL testing found cellular shades saved up to 20 percent of heating energy against a bare window.

Custom drapery panels on a traverse rod

A 6,600 square foot house with a two story volume has an echo problem as well as a light problem, and fabric is the only treatment on this list that answers both. Pleated panels at proper fullness with a real return to the wall close the edge gap that a shade leaves open. Yardage and lead time both scale with height here, so plan on the longer end of the 2 to 5 week custom window.

Getting Around

Arbor Springs: the west side, and what can actually be sourced about it

Arbor Springs sits on the west side of Brownsburg on wooded and lakefront ground, the same side as Northridge but roughly a generation newer. The community has its own pool, a clubhouse and a lake with lakefront lots along it. Interior street names are the honest gap: Hendricks County has no public parcel GIS we can reach and the Town of Brownsburg's subdivision pages give bounding roads only, so no streets are listed here rather than guessed at. Schools run through the Brownsburg Community School Corporation, with Brownsburg High School at the top and East or West Middle School by address. Brownsburg marked ten years as a Tree City USA in 2025, and the mature canopy here is part of why exposure gets checked parcel by parcel.

Common Questions

Arbor Springs Window Treatment FAQ

Questions we hear most often from Arbor Springs homeowners.

Somewhere around 36 to 50, and that's an inference from published home size rather than a window survey. The Town of Brownsburg publishes Arbor Springs homes at 4,952 to 6,600 square feet with four to six bedrooms, and a house in that band carrying a two story great room lands in that range. It's the second highest count in Brownsburg behind WindRidge. We count openings at the measure appointment and the quote reflects the count we found, not the estimate we started with. Nobody should be ordering 40-odd custom shades off a square footage figure.
You can, and you should know what it costs you before you decide. Fabric is dyed in lots, and a lot run next spring won't match the one running now. On a matched pair of rooms you'll see it; across a floor break you often won't. If phasing is the plan, we order the whole house's fabric in one dye lot and install in stages, or we pick families where the second phase sits in a room that never lands beside the first. Dye lot matching is the single strongest argument for ordering an Arbor Springs house all at once.
Treat the lower band and think hard before you treat the upper one. A full height shade stacks at the head, and on a two story wall that stack sits across the top of the glass permanently. Fixed shutter panels or nothing at all is a common answer for the upper band in Arbor Springs, with a motorized roller or cellular on the lower band where you actually need control. If the upper band does get motorized, budget for battery access: Hunter Douglas puts PowerView battery life at about one year, and that's a ladder every time.
Often enough that we never skip the check. These houses are 15 to 22 years settled, and Brownsburg overall has 20.9 percent of its housing stock built before 1980, so the town carries a genuine out of square population even though Arbor Springs isn't the oldest part of it. We take a three point measure on every opening and a diagonal on the tall two story ones, which are the openings most likely to have moved. Where the skew runs past about a quarter inch, we tell you what it means for the light gap before anything gets ordered.
Arbor Springs has recorded covenants and restrictions in force, linked from the Town of Brownsburg's own subdivision page, but the document itself isn't publicly posted and we could not retrieve it. No recorded rule about window coverings was found for any Brownsburg subdivision, this one included, so we won't tell you there is one and we won't tell you there isn't. Get the current covenant packet from your board before you order anything that changes the street facing look, particularly a shutter frame color on the front elevation.
Because of the ratio. Homes of 4,952 to 6,600 square feet sit on lots of 10,455 to 14,811 square feet, so the built footprint is large against the parcel and the neighboring house is close. Side windows face side windows. WindRidge puts comparable homes on lots reaching 42,254 square feet and the conversation there is about framing a view. Here it's about what the neighbor sees at nine in the evening. Glare still matters on the lakefront and west facing rear elevations, and we'll spec openness for it, but it isn't the opening question.
